Europos Parlamento rinkimai 2019: Šakių „Žiburio“ gimnazijos moksleiviai kalbės renginyje „Tavo Europa, tavo balsas!“

Kovo  1 d.  Šakių „Žiburio“ gimnazijos moksleiviai susitiks su Europos ekonomikos ir socialinių reikalų komiteto nare  Daiva Kvedaraite, kuri padės jiems rengtis jaunimo asamblėjai „#YEYSjau10. Balsuokite už ateitį!“ („#YEYSturns10: Vote for the future!“),  vyksiančiai  kovo 21–22 d. Briuselyje.  

Šakių „Žiburio“ gimnazija yra viena iš skirtingoms Europos šalims atstovaujančių 33 mokyklų , kurių atstovai šį kovą susirinks Briuselyje pasikeisti nuomonėmis ir išsakyti savo viltis ir lūkesčius, siejamus su artėjančiais Europos Parlamento rinkimais. Jie parengs tris pasiūlymus, atspindinčius pačius svarbiausius jaunosios kartos prioritetus, kuriuos turės svarstyti Europos Parlamentas. Europos ekonomikos ir socialinių reikalų komitetas (EESRK) pasirūpins, kad šie pasiūlymai pasiektų teisės aktų leidėjus.

D. Kvedaraitė padės 16–18 metų moksleiviams iki kovo mėn. pasirengti šiam Briuselyje vyksiančiam renginiui. Moksleiviai turės pasidalyti savo idėjomis, skirtomis 2019 m. Europos Parlamento rinkimams, ir rasti atsakymus į šiuos konkrečius klausimus:

• Ką, tavo nuomone, reikėtų daryti, kad daugiau rinkėjų dalyvautų Europos Parlamento rinkimuose?
• Kaip galėtume ateityje sustiprinti atstovaujamąją demokratiją?
• Kokių politinės veiklos galimybių esama be Europos Parlamento rinkimų ir kaip būtų galima tokioje veikloje dalyvauti?

Plenarinio posėdžio „Tavo Europa, tavo balsas!“ metu dalyviai balsuos dėl trijų Europos Parlamentui skirtų pasiūlymų, kurie turėtų būti įtraukti .

The Commission approved French plans to support four demonstration floating wind farms for producing electricity. The “Groix Belle Ile” project will be located in the Atlantic Ocean, while the other three projects(“Golf du Lion”, “Eolmed”, and “Provence Grand Large”) will be located in the Mediterranean Sea.

The demonstration floating wind farms will each be composed of three to four turbines and will each have a total installed capacity of 24 megawatt. The turbines will be installed in the sea on floaters. The turbines will be interconnected with each other and connected to land through an underwater cable.

Each of the four demonstration wind farms will use a particular combination of turbine, floater and cables. The objective of the public support is to test these different technological solutions, with the long-term goal to test this technology before deploying it on a larger scale.

The demonstration wind farms will receive both investment aid and operating aid. Part of the investment aid will be paid in the form of repayable advances.

The Commission assessed the measures under EU State aid rules, in particular the Commission’s Guidelines on State Aid for Environmental Protection and Energy. The Commission found that:

• the French projects will promote the development of a new type of offshore wind energy and the potential growth of a novel renewable energy technology.
• the level of aid granted to the four projects is proportionate and will avoid overcompensation for the beneficiaries of the public support, in line with the requirements of the Guidelines.

On this basis, the Commission concluded that the four projects will promote the use of electricity generated from renewable sources and will help France meet its climate targets, without unduly distorting competition.

Background

The Commission’s 2014 Guidelines on State Aid for Environmental Protection and Energy allow Member States to support the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, subject to certain conditions.These rules are aimed at meeting the EU’s ambitious energy and climate targets at the least possible cost for taxpayers and without undue distortions of competition in the Single Market.

The Renewable Energy Directive established targets for all Member States’ shares of renewable energy sources in gross final energy consumption by 2020. For France that target is 23% by 2020. The projects aim to contribute to reaching that target.

More information on the four decisions adopted today will be available, once potential confidentiality issues have been resolved, in the State aid register on the competition website under the case number SA.49672, SA.49673, SA.49674 and SA.52085. The State Aid Weekly e-News lists new publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the EU Official Journal.
